1. Bloglines keyboard shortcuts: 16:40

I totally, totally love Bloglines' keyboard shortcuts. That tiny addition just made web-based RSS reading _so_ much easier for me. Why? Because it makes it so much easier to quickly go through titles and lead paragraphs of all the stories on the blogs I read.

3. Toastmasters Humorous Speech Contest: 23:38

My ever-patient and helpful mentor Paul Wilson helped me get through
three versions of the speech: two in front of the Toastmasters and one
on the way to the contest. Fortunately, he didn't have to suffer
through the six other versions I recorded for practice last night. I
owe him the clothes joke.

I couldn't have done it without Greg's advice, either. He gave me a
lot of tips on how to speak humorously, and I even used one or two of
his jokes. I owe him the survey joke.

The contest was totally fun. Scary as heck--I was trembling before,
during and after the thing--but look! I got my voice under control!
And I didn't speak too quickly! And I didn't step on laughter _all_
the time! Wheee!
